Alice Hawkins, Photographer, London

Description

A slender woman with auburn hair styled in a topknot stands on a concrete promenade beside the sea. She has her arms crossed and is holding a white plastic shopping bag with blue stripes and the word 'DISCO' printed in red. She wears a white-and-blue vertically striped maxi dress, and a delicate gold necklace. Behind her is a low concrete fence and a stone cliff with a small structure. The sky is cloudy and overcast, and the light is soft and diffused. The image has been color graded with a slightly cool tone, enhancing the blues and whites. A bird flies overhead. There is a shadow cast on the ground in front of the woman, and the photograph appears to be taken at eye level.
